Destructive Fire.

A Terre Haute, (Ind.) dispatch of the
18th snys: 1.-THE Terre Huute distillery
was burned here this morning, entirely
destroying the building and contents,
including 10000 bushels of corn, 65, 900
gallons of high wines and 10000 gallons
of low wines. Loss, 500. 900; insur-
ance, $4,000. james Nugent, the
Waterman, is supposed to have been
burned to death in the ruins
This extensive institution was one of
the largest, and it has been said that it
was the largest distillery in the world.
It furnished permanent market for the
immense crops Of corn produced on the
fertile valleys of the Wabash. and its
destruction will prove great loss to
the farming interests of that locality.

in any radical legislation lest they injure
their party in the coming campaign. AS a
choice of evils. however, the Democrats will
probably choose to tackle the surplus ques-
ton rather than to ignore it.
But how will they dispose of it? That is a
question that is giving them pause and caus-
ing them great anxiety already. There are
few headstrong free traders among them
who would like make a raid upon the tariff
and reform it according to their ideas. But
they are few in numbers and becoming fewer
daily, under the warnings of such Democratic
sheets as the Nav York Sun which say thatto
make sweeping changes in the tariff this ses-
sion is sure way to ensure the defeat of the
Democratic party In the next campaign. By
the time Congress meets we imagine that the
great majority of the Democratic representa-
tives will have made up their minds that the
proper policy is a compromise policy that
will keep the tariff question out of sight or
will not alarm the Democratic friends of the
protective system. The few dissenters will
be summarily suppressed and harmony pro-
NOTED by a club if need be.

The Argus of yesterday contained this
exclusive piece of information:
In this city a cabal, understood to be managed
by Fred Dow, is intriguing to defeat Reeds re-
nomination.
We feel that we may safely denounce this
story as false in every particular, and we
may add that If our esteemed contemporary
did not know it was false it was because 1t
has neglected of late to make use of its
numerous eyes, The Evening Express, it is
well known, is Col Dow's personal organ
and reflects his views on all sorts of sub
jects. No longer ago than Friday 1t ex-
pressed his views on the very rumor to
which the Argus refers, in this language:
The Express expects TO give--no sensible man
thinks Otherwse-to the distinguished repre-
sentative of this Congressional district its earn
est support not sparingly and grudgingly, but
dnl0re, as Is his due.
This is a sufficient refutation of the

Bra dstreet's presents some considerations
relating to the labor vote in New York city
which are ia the nature Of denials that the
movement has collapsed so ANONYMOUSLY as
the returns from New York county seem to
indicate. 1t is suggested that the decline in
the labor vote may be traced to dissatisfac-
tion on the part Of thousands of German
voters with the land plank in the platform of
the United Labor party, and to a revolt from
Georges leadership on the part Of many
workingmen who could not approve his
attitude and the attitude of DR.. McGlynn
toward the ecclesiastical authorities Of New
York city, whom they regarded with venera-
alton. Georges expression concerning the
Anarchists also alienated many voters of
socialistic tendencies there can be no doubt
All this goes to show that George cannot
hold together the party which he has built
up; goes to show. in fact, that the George
party has collapsed. That there are ele-
ments in New York city that at most any
time may be united for sudden movement,
there can be no doubt But that George, or
a man Of his theories, will lead in such a
new movement is doubtful

The New York Tribune says that "the COM
plete figures from New York State put Col.
Fred Grant more nearly in line with his
colleagues on the Republican ticket. His
heaviest loss is about 1900 as compared with
Carmichael. and as compared with some of
the others is so slight as hardly to be notice
able. His biggest loss was in New York
city, and may have been due in part to the
ignorant notion that he was in some way re-
sponsible for the Grant & Ward failure. In
the rural counties it is to be observed that
lac runs ahead of his ticket here and there"
A little while ago the New York Tribune
was pointing to Col. Grants losses as the re-
suit Of his unpopularity and sneering at him
as the ''son of his father" 1t has now dis
covered that his losses were due to the ''igno-
rant notion that he was in some way respon-
sible for the Grant q Ward failure" 1t has
probably dawned upon the Tribune that it
was not good policy to kick Col. Grant even
vicariously; and having dawned upon the
Tribune it will now dawn upon many of its
small reflectors.

Life Notes or Fifty Years Outlook, by
William Hague. ID. ID. The eminent author
of this volume died suddenly in his eightieth
year, while on the way to exchange congratu-
lations with his publishers on the happy
completion Of this work. The book is auto
biographical to a considerable extent and
will be found to contain the rich personal
"reminiscences of noble life consecrated to
all that is elevating-a sincere life of love
and of truth. The narrative is written in an
exceedingly interesting manner and is inter
spersed here and there with sketches of emf
nent men, many of them friends and con-
temporares of the author. DR.. Hague was a
clergyman OF profound religious convictions
and his abilities we're of very high order.
Among his writings are The Baptist Church
Transplanted from the Old World to the
New, Christianity and Craftsmanship, Home

AS announced in recent dispatches the
labor trouble in Louisiana has come to
serious pass. The actual facts of the case
are hard to get at, but there seems to be a
mixture Of politics with it all. At first the
knights Of Labor ordered strike among
the workmen ON the sugar plantations of
Bayou Lafourche. November is one Of the
critical seasons for the sugar planter. The
cane must be cut and put through the mill
before frost comes. The strike was there
fore ordered on the same principle that most
strikes are, with the expectation of finding
the men whose capital was at risk in such a
condition that they must yield or be ruined
The usual expedient was resorted to by the
planters. They sent to New Orleans and
hired help from the mass of unemployed
negroes hanging about that city. Then
there was trouble between the old and new
help, quite serious, but not so much so as it
became when it was discovered that the
local assemblies of the Knights of Labor
were opposed to the reelection of Governor
McEnery, and in favor of General Nichols,
who represents the Liberia wing of the
Democratic party. Then Governor McEnery
sent State troops to the seem. on the repre-
sensations of the planters. The result of all
the trouble is like the results Of most politi-
cal troubles In Louiana, some dead negroes
and the rest completely terrified and driven
to the swamps, convenient refugees at these
times and on election days.

Congress assemblies next Monday. But
little time will be spent in organizing, mas
much as there is no opposition worth talking
about to the reelection of Mr.. Carlisle to the
Speakership. 1t is not customary for Con-
gress, however, to settle down to solid work
until after the holiday recess, and there is
not likely to be any change Of programme
this winter. The real work Of the session
will not begin, therefore, until January.
The important question before Congress at
the coming session will be the reduction of
the surplus, and it is SO pressing that it is
difficult to see how consideration and settle
ment Of it can be avoided, notwithstanding
the fact that the session will be held in the
face Of a Presidential election, when Con-
gressmen are timid and reluctant to indulge

magazine published in Philadelphia In
1918 gives statement Of the cost of trans
portation in those days, which shows that
one Of the modern grumblers over freight
rates would have been considered lunatic
seventy years ago. "In the course of the
twelve months of 1877" says the article,
$4,000 wagons passed the Allegheny noun
tains from Philadelphia and Baltimore, each
with from four to six horses, carrying from
80 to 40 cwt The cost Of carriage was about
81 per cwt., in some cases as high as $40 to
Philadelphia. The aggregate sum paid for
the conveyance Of goods exceeded $780,
600" To move ton of freight from Pitts
burg to Philadelphia, therefore, cost not
less than $40. and took probably not far
from two weeks time. In 1886 the Pennsyl-
vania railroad carried a ton Of freight be-
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia for s2.87.

outcries against the railways people often
forget what blessings these same corpora
tions are. The cutlery, however, which has
resulted in the Inter State Commerce Law,
was occasioned more by unjust discrimina.
tions than by high freight rates It is not
probable that in 1917 the teamsters across
the Alleghanys charged less for longer
haul than for a shorter one included within
the longer; and so communities did not feel
that the truck wagons Disseminated against
them. But rebates and other forms Of fav-
oritism prevailed without doubt.
